Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Below we inform you about the legal bases of the processing of personal data:

1. If we have obtained your consent to the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.

2. If the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, which are based on your request, then Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is Legal basis.

3. If the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation that we are subject to (eg statutory retention requirements), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is Legal basis.

4. If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is Legal basis.

5. If the processing is necessary for the protection of our or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not predominate in this regard, then Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors

Without your consent, we generally do not pass on data to third parties. If this is the case, then the transfer takes place on the basis of the aforementioned legal basis, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers for performance of a contract or by court order or for a legal obligation to disclose the data for the purposes of law enforcement, security or enforcement of intellectual property rights.

We also use processors (external service providers, for example, to host our websites and databases) to process your data. If data are passed on to the processor by order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR. We carefully select our processors, monitor them regularly and have given us the right to give instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and the data protection rules in accordance with BDSG n.F. and GDPR.

Data transmission to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore processed primarily by companies for which GDPR applies. If the processing takes place through services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. This means that processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission's officially acknowledged level of data protection or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". In US companies, submission to the Privacy Shield, the EU-US data protection agreement, meets these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage duration

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for the storage is omitted, unless their further storage is required for evidence or contrary to legal storage requirements. These include, for example, commercial requirements for the storage of business letters pursuant to Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax-related retention obligations pursuant to Section 147 (1) AO of receipts (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still required to conclude a contract or to fulfill the contract.

Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
